Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine and create the marinade.
Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly grease the grill grates using non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off back into the dish. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the white fish fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, until they have grill marks and are easy to lift.
Gently flip the fish fillets using a spatula. Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled white fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
